Chapter 790 - Maybe he will show you (1/2)

Xu Long stood rooted to the ground with horrendous eyes staring at his boss and the man wearing glasses. The corners of his lip twitch uncontrollably with a wish to strangle Qi Li to death.

He is Lu Tian's assistant and number one sidekick. Everything that needs to be reported always comes from him. Yet, at this moment, his position has been given to Qi Li.

How can this be? Is he getting replaced?

No, that's not possible.

Liu Shan took notice of the man's dumbstruck state and sighs. He walks over to Xu Long, locks one arm around the man's neck, and drags him (Xu Long) away.

”Quit crying over something so little. Can't you see, Qi Li was chosen because he isn't flexing his chest like the rest of us.”

When Lu Tian greeted them, he (Liu Shan) was able to see the aloof man's expression from a mile away. He (Lu Tian) would repeatedly glance at their shirtless bodies. However, the more he (Lu Tian) looked, the more his expression turned dark, like something was making his blood boil.

He (Liu Shan) was sure that he wasn't the only one who noticed this because Lin Hui and the others from Alpha Team saw it too. He thought that since this was the case, Wolf Team should have the same thoughts since Lu Tian is their boss.

However, judging from Xu Long's reaction, maybe it was only him who didn't since he's not part of Alpha Team or Wolf Team.

Oblivious to this reason, Xu Long allows Liu Shan to pull away by the head. With himself walking backward now, he could only watch with teary eyes as his boss and Qi Li continue to conversate like they were closed acquaintances.

His lower lip trembles, and he wails into the sky with no tears to shed. Both his arms stretch forward like a baby being taken away from his mother.

”Boss! Save me! I am your assistant. Save me! Don't let them take me away! Wuuu.”

Liu Shan rolled his eyes and walked away even faster. Behind him, Lin Hui stares at the crying assistant, and his face scrunches in vexation.

”What do you mean 'them'? It's only Shan who is dragging you.”

”…”

Xu Long abruptly stops wailing, but his mouth remained widely open. Like a thermostat, his entire face turns red, and his eyes darts left and right. Seeing that those near staring at him with ridicule or pity, he lowers his eyes to the grass beneath him.

Grabbing Liu Shan's arm that held him in a chokehold, he raises it to cover his ashamed face. He thought that by doing this, no one will see him as he sobs silently.

However, what he did not know is, his little move only covered the top half of his face, leaving his trembling lips visible to anyone who saw.

Lu Tian ignored his assistant's wails as it was how Liu Shan said again. Out of all the people here, he chose Qi Li to fill him in on the report because he (Qi Li) was the only one adequately dressed.

As a person who prefers cleanliness, he wouldn't usually mind this since he and his men train in the field together. However, when he saw how well-built each person was and knowing his wife had seen what he saw, he couldn't help but eat a jar of vinegar.

However, understanding why these men were shirtless, he pushes aside his jealousy.

After all, his body is not inferior to any of the men here.

Looking at Qi Li, he was pleased that the young man knew how to keep his shirt.

”How is the process going?”

His deep voice sounds with no emotion and cold as ice. Qi Li looks at him without feeling intimidated. He turns to face the house and points at specific locations.

”We've added escape doors to these parts of the house. In total, there are five on the first floor, but with the short time given, we've only completed three. In the study room upstairs, we are still in the process of gathering the equipment needed to add in a secret room for weapons.”

As Qi Li continues to give the report, Lu Tian listens as he stares at each location pinpointed.

In the distance from the two men, everyone looked like they had returned to their previous tasks. However, all heads couldn't help but stare in the direction of Lu Tian and Qi Li.

Huan Min, a member of Wolf Team's sniper group, stood with a level tool in hand like a cane. He crosses one leg over the other and stares with a slight frown.

”Is it just me, or does boss and the kid look like brothers?”

Hearing his question, Jiangyu, who was about to climb up to sit in the excavator, stops. He turns his head and looks at his boss. He hates to admit it, but Huan Min was right.

Compare to his boss and Lu Han being brothers, anyone who didn't know would think Qi Li is the spitting image of Lu Tian.

”Man, they really do look alike. Even their personality is the same. So cold and bone-chilling.”

Yiqing and Shaofeng walk over to join the two men as they stare in one direction. However, noticing something, Yiqing stroke his chin like an old man.

”Did you guys notice something about the members of Fate?”

”Notice what?”

Shaofeng asks when he heard the question. He looks around at the people who were not a part of Wolf Team. Seeing nothing out of place, he scratched the side of his head.
